Suburban Hostage - Humanitarian Exceptionalism Lyrics

I watch the world
Discourage me Everything that I see
Falling away in place Rising lines of hate
Towards a repeating past Empires that never last
How can we change this? How can we save this?

I always believed I’d make a change
One day
With the things I do and the lives that I’d change

A human-interest story played out on a broader scale
No one seemed to take notice, leaving their souls for sale
Scripture, money, ignorance; these are no reasons to kill
How can we change this? How can we save this?

I always believed I’d make a change
ONE DAY!
With the things I do and the lives that I’d change
Showing the world that there’s a better way to communicate
RESPECT!
Love each other and integrate
How can we change this? How can we save this?
How can we change this? HOW CAN WE SAVE THIS?!

How will we teach freedom to the young
When they’re staring down the barrel of democracy’s gun?
A disposable Africa for us all
Selling guns and testing pharmaceuticals
Barrels for lives in the East
No one gets rich in peace
